Issue 34 – April 2017
From the Associate Dean Research Having only taken the role on some three weeks ago it has been a challenging and rewarding few weeks. The challenges we all face are the enormous rate and pace of change. University research is no different. As of January 1st this year the way universities are funded for research has fundamentally changed. The new arrangements are designed to drive greater research industry engagement by substantially boosting incentives for collaboration with business and organisations which use the outcomes of research. The arrangements establish two new streamlined programs:
• the Research Training Program (RTP) which replaces the three previous programs - Australian Postgraduate Awards (APA), International Postgraduate Research Scholarships (IPRS), and the Research Training Scheme (RTS)
• the Research Support Program (RSP) which replaces the three previous programs - Joint Research Engagement (JRE), Research Infrastructure Block Grants (RIBG) and Sustainable Research Excellence (SRE).
As a result, the two critical currencies for research excellence going forward are research dollars in and PhD completions. Additionally, the UNSW Research Outputs Office is gearing up for the next Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) 2018, Australia’s national research evaluation framework. In preparation for this you will have seen that the ARC is reviewing the Draft ERA 2018 Journal List in consultation with Australian Higher Education Providers and peak bodies and disciplinary groups and we were required to send our list to the UNSW Research Outputs Office within days of my commencement. Luckily, with Toni’s assistance we were able to include journals that our staff had published in not just those on the previous 2015 list. Thanks to all of you who assisted us with this! At the last University Research Committee, it was mandated that all UNSW researchers get an ORCID ID and it was strongly recommended that every researcher create their own Google Scholar profile. I would also recommend that all researchers think about strategies to publish, get grants and supervise students and I am very happy to talk to anyone in the faculty wanting to work on any of these. Universities have traditionally been rewarded for their publications, but outcomes with commercial and community benefit are the new focus. So, a key challenge for us all going ahead is to increase our Industry engagement because of the need to generate a larger and more sustainable research quantum. This requires a three-pronged strategy. First, we need to understand the burning research questions of our current industry partners. Second, we need to develop a culture of an entrepreneurial faculty which emphasizes patenting, licensing and other multithreaded links with
firms. Last but not least, I am hoping that together we can facilitate collaboration with key industry partners and better support the organisation and management of these new collaborative relationships and I will be looking to all our researchers to assist in this endeavour.

Researcher Highlights
Designing Global Sydney symposium
Late last year Built Environment (BE) co-sponsored a symposium on design excellence with JBA and the NSW Government Architects Office. The event spun-off an ARC Discovery project on “Designing Global Sydney: The negotiation of public and private interests” (DP150104054). This is led by Professor Robert Freestone with co-chief investigators Dr Gethin Davison and Professor Richard Hu (University of Canberra). The research is situated at the interface of planning policy, urban design and planning history. It assesses the contribution of design-led policy in reconciling private ambitions for economic growth with aspirations for quality public outcomes in the planning approval processes for major commercial development in the Sydney Central Business District (CBD). Concentrating on the past decade, it examines the changing economic structure of the CBD, links the changing form of the city to evolving design policies, recovers the experiences of participants in the development approval process, and communicates instructive stories at the interface of powerful market forces and the design regime. The symposium held at JBA’s offices in the CBD focused on design excellence and involved presentations from some of the leading players in Sydney in architecture, planning, urban design and development including Graham Jahn (City of Sydney), Peter Poulet – pictured (Government Architect), Chris Johnson (Urban Taskforce), Kim Crestani (City of Parramatta), Shaun Carter (Institute of Architects), and past and present BE Deans (Helen Lochhead and Alec Tzannes). John Punter from Cardiff University was a special guest. A complete video record of the conference was made. This has now been edited and uploaded to the BE website along with a highlights reel.
RIZA YOSIA SUNINDIJO & MARTIN LOOSEMORE, UNSW-Indonesia Seed Research Fund
Dr Riza Yosia Sunindijo and Professor Martin Loosemore were successful under the UNSW-Indonesia Seed Research Fund 2017 and are collaborating with Professor Fatma Lestari at the Faculty of Public Health, Universitas Indonesia (Indonesia’s top ranked university) to conduct research on safety culture development in construction projects in Indonesia. UNSW delegates are pictured while visiting Indonesia during the UNSW-Indonesia Research Roadshow which was instrumental in establishing the joint research project between the Built Environment and the Universitas Indonesia. There were estimated to be more than 50,000 recorded workplace accidents across Indonesian industry in 2015, of which nearly a third happened in the construction industry. The real accident rate is likely to be far higher since many incidents go unreported. An example of unsafe work practices in the Indonesian construction industry is pictured below. The construction industry is an important industry in Indonesia and the Indonesian Government has placed infrastructure development as one of its highest priorities. This joint research project aims to assess and improve the safety culture of the Indonesian construction industry through the development of evidence-based guidelines to improve safety management practices on future Indonesian construction projects.
CHRIS PETTIT, Informed Urbanization – Understanding the Housing-Transport Nexus
The City Futures Research Centre, with the support from the PLuS Alliance, seeks the answers to fundamental questions on informed urbanization. Informed urbanization refers to change in land cover and land use occurring through deliberate decision‐making using integrated data, mathematical models, context information, and visualization. Utilising the existing range of expertise and data within the PLuS Alliance partners, the project will focus on urban accessibility as a specific theme within the broader informed urbanization agenda. Research objectives include:
• To develop a scenario planning framework to support the exploration of “What if?” city shaping changes particularly in relation to questions of urban density and development patterns.
• To involve a data-rich process to inform the impact of urbanization on a number of city indicators including:
o Travel times from home to work – how can we realise the 30 minute city? o The bikeability of the cities – data driven approaches to inform active transport. o Planning. o Understanding the impact transport has on the environment, with a specific focus on
air quality.

• Develop an action research agenda on urban resilience, in particular in lower income countries.
• Develop a datastore for Sydney, Phoenix and London, supporting the concept of living city laboratories.
Three PLuS Alliance Fellows from UNSW are involved in the project: Bill Randolph, David Sanderson and Chris Pettit and are working alongside a number of academics from across the Faculty of Built Environment including: Hoon Han, Scott Hawken, Simone Zarpelon-Leao, Laurence Troy and Laura Crommelin with Shawn Laffan from the Faculty of Science. The dimension of urban resilience, particularly looking at the patterns of how refugees are settling in our cities and how they can access services and support is a current foci of the project as we tackle the grand challenge of urbanization. For further information, please contact Professor Chris Pettit.
Meet the Researchers – Harry Margalit
Dr Harry Margalit is an Associate Professor in the Architecture program, and served as Director of Architecture for 5 years, commencing with his move to UNSW in 2006. He has a BArch from the University of Cape Town, and an MA and PhD from the Power Institute of Fine Arts at the University of Sydney. His PhD topic was modern architecture and urban design in Sydney to 1960, with an emphasis on the successes and failures of the rationalist practice that underpinned the movement. This has been a continuing concern in his research, using the “melancholia” of historical critique borrowed from the Frankfurt School. He has published extensively on Sydney modernist architecture, and continues to involve himself in the appreciation of, and fight for, many of its finest examples. In recent years he has also engaged in critiques of rationalist practice at the
urban level. Building on the proposition that history is the key to gaining perspective on contemporary practice, he has proposed that even empirical fields such as energy policy could benefit from being understood historically. The template is set out in his recent book Energy, Cities and Sustainability: an historical approach. He maintains that his research is still strongly influenced by 2 decades of architectural practice, where just keeping the water out, let alone reconfiguring the city, proved a continuing challenge even in the age of titanium and automated houses.
